Poland junior Tyler Campbell breaks free with the ball April 6 during the battle of the Bulldogs with Meadville Area Senior High School. The young Poland team lost the game, 20-0. This battle was a big deal for the Poland program, which acted as a club sport for two years in 2015 and 2016. The team is coached by Steve Tyson. The Poland Bulldogs battle Meadville March 22, staging a thrilling comeback to win, 8-7.

This season marks the first time Poland Seminary High School hosted a sanctioned boys lacrosse match. A battle with the Boardman Spartans April 20 and a big rematch with Cardinal Mooney May 8, both at home, also on the schedule. Poland lost 17-3 to the Cardinals March 20, so the next game will offer the Bulldogs a chance at revenge on their turf.
